I was kind of thinking we should have a thread (potential MEGA thread), about anticipated games. Not for a particular year, or genre, or whatever, but just an ongoing thread where TTLGers can share info on upcoming games. The could be three years out, or even just a concept you read about, just something on the horizon you want others to know about. I lean on this place quite a bit for getting information on new games I've never heard of or seen before.

Anyway, until then...

This was posted on RPS within the past week or so, a new survival game that's due out next week. The Flame and the Flood. I'm guessing I'm liking it because it seems somewhat similar to Don't Stave. I just thought the idea of traveling down a river seemed cool, and with survival mechanics, and soothing folk music, even better. I really like the art style too. And hey, it'll actually be leaving Early Access, what a bonus.

Shardlight is an old school point and click adventure set in a post-catastrophic world ravaged by plague and it's just oozing with atmosphere (and probably a few other things). I've only played a bit and I can already tell I'm probably going to like it as much as Primordia.

It's a game where you infiltrate a cult to find and rescue your nephew, but in every game certain variables change, such as how radical the cult leaders are, and (I'm guessing) whether or not your nephew really wants to be there. Polygon wrote more about the game, but I can't tell if the gameplay is just stealth and shooting or if there's dialogue options as well.

Sounds interesting, and the impact of the music and script together drew me in instantly. It makes me wish that I didn't see the visuals though as the poor animations, lackluster art style and low detail setting fails to keep pace with the rest of it. Hopefully there's something in the gameplay elements you mentioned to carry it further.

Only must-buy is DX:MD. ME2 is a strong "maybe", and in the "wait and see" category we have No Man's Sky and Omnibus. I might just have time to catch up on some of the games I've missed out on so far this year(Hyper Light Drifter, Firewatch, Unravel, Superhot, DOOM).
